University of Manchester Students Built an Affordable 3D Printed Bionic Hand

Advanced bionic limbs make life easier for amputees but they are not affordable and accessible to everyone. Students at the University of Manchester have designed and built a 3D printed robotic hand for just £307, which is much cheaper than almost any prosthetic limb available on the market.

The hand’s joints are fully posable, so users can move each individual finger and make a fist. They can grab and pick items, type, click a mouse, and perform other daily tasks. Has a lot of potential, don’t you think?
